A NEW LOW: Trump Claims The Clinton's Were "Murderers" And Bill Clinton Is A "Rapist"

We have reached a new low. American politics has bottomed out. I didn't think it would be possible to sink any further but that's on me for underestimating Trump's ability to plumb uncharted depths.In a recent interview with The Washington Post the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States intimated that both Bill and Hillary Clinton were murderers. The victim, Trump claims, was Vince Foster a longtime friend of the Clintons and deputy White House counsel in the first few months of Bill's presidency.Trump called the circumstances of Vincent Foster’s death “very serious” and “very fishy” saying...

“He (Foster) had intimate knowledge of what was going on. He knew everything that was going on and then all of a sudden he committed suicide. I don’t bring [Foster] up because I don’t know enough to really discuss it. I will say there are people who continue to bring it up because they think it was absolutely a murder.

The truth of the matter was that Vince Foster was found dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound n July 1993. There were three official investigations into Foster’s death concluded he committed suicide as he suffered from depression but right-wing conspiracy theories continued claiming that the Clintons were involved in Foster’s death. When Trump was done sliming Hillary he decided to reanimate sex scandals from President Bill Clinton's past and put it into a sleazy video replete with the voices of his accusers Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick and Monica Lewinsky.Here is Trump's new ad calling Bill Clinton a rapist...

Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 on one count of perjury and one of obstruction of justice stemming from his affair with Monica Lewinsky. The two other women's accusations were never investigated and no charges were ever filed.In the interest of fairness Trump too was accused of rape by his ex-wife. The allegation appeared in a sworn deposition made by Ivana Trump reported in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump. According to Lost Tycoon, Ms Trump accused him of "rape" after he allegedly attacked her in a "violent assault" The attack was supposedly provoked because Trump blamed Ivana for his "painful" botched scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot.Here is the how Harry Hurt III, the books author, put it...

“One night he comes in - in a rage - and starts pulling Ivana’s hair. Then according to her sworn deposition testimony ‘he raped me’. “At this point she is terrified, runs out of the room, runs down the hall to her mother’s room and locks the door behind her. She stays up crying all night. “The next morning, again according to her testimony, she comes creeping out and sees him and he goes ‘did it hurt?’”

In addition, according to the author, Ivana also told her “closest confidantes” that her husband had raped her.
